The study about human information processing in tactile recognition

Abstract

In this study, we used functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to measure human brain activation in tactile recognition using tactile length recognition task performs without visual guidance by normal volunteer 12 persons. The result suggested that the cognitive processing includes initial processing from stimulus, a joint and a line into feeling information, and integration of feeling information and movement information. This result is an important meaning to the elucidation of the mechanism of object recognition by tactile sense.
